The result of Taiwan's local elections will not have a fundamental impact on the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, despite the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party's landslide defeat, analysts said Sunday.
Saturday's island-wide elections were considered a mid-term test for the KMT ahead of the region's leadership election in 2016.
Pressure has mounted on Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou to step down as chairman of the island's ruling party, after Jiang Yi-huah, Taiwan chief administrator, resigned Saturday, saying he took responsibility for the overwhelming defeat.
KMT spokesperson Chen Yi-hsin on Sunday denied speculation that Ma will resign as party chief, but stressed that Ma "will not cling to power" and will shoulder responsibility for the defeat. He added that Ma would make a "major announcement" at a meeting of the party's central standing committee on Wednesday.
In Taiwan's "nine-in-one elections," the KMT won only six out of 22 seats for city and county heads, far fewer than the 15 it won in the previous election four years ago.
It also lost control of its traditional strongholds in the major cities of Taipei and Taichung.
The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) clinched 13 seats, while the remaining three went to independent candidates.
The elections are the biggest in Taiwan's history, involving nearly 20,000 candidates running for nine levels of 11,130 local government and legislative positions to be selected by some 18.5 million registered voters. Taiwan's Central Election Commission said voter turnout was around 65-70 percent.
The positions ranged from mayoral and legislator seats in Taiwan's largest municipalities and counties to chiefs of townships and villages.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, responded late Saturday that the mainland has been watching the result of this election. He called on people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits to cherish the "hard-won fruits" in their ties, and to continue promoting peaceful development of cross-Straits relations.
Cross-Straits relations have warmed since Ma came to power in 2008, leading to a tourist boom of mainland visitors to Taiwan and expanded trade links. But the KMT's latest election defeat may bring the opposition DPP back to power and cause cross-Straits ties to regress, Hu Shiqing, a researcher at the Taiwan Studies Institute of the China Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

Despite KMT presidential candidate Eric Chu’s best efforts to distance himself from the current Ma administration, he is being branded by the opposition DPP as offering voters much of the same. The issue came to the fore in the first presidential debate held yesterday with Chu criticizing his DPP opponent Tsai Ing-wen of reviving Chen Shui-bian’s administration. In the first presidential debate, KMT and DPP presidential candidates started to reopen old wounds that took place when the parties were in power. Eric Chu(Dec. 27)KMT Presidential CandidateAbout 70 members in your team which Chairperson Tsai introduced to the public were former members of the Chen administration. Tsai Ing-wen(Dec. 27)DPP Presidential CandidateDon’t you forget, Chairman Chu. You are also a part of the Ma administration. Their verbal jabs even included former president Chen Shui-bian and incumbent president Ma Ying-jeou. Eric Chu, however, forgets his administration in New Taipei City also includes officials who rose to prominent positions when Chen was in power. Gao Jyh-pengDPP LegislatorMayor Chu may have forgotten that two of the deputy mayors in his administration were also from the Chen administration. Hou You-yi was made Director-General of the National Police Agency and Chen Shen-hsien was also appointed as Director-General of the Water Resources Agency.Many of the important operatives in Tsai’s campaign were indeed close aides of former president Chen. These people include former National Security Council Secretary-General Chiou I-ren, Chen’s trusted speechwriters Lin De-hsun and Lin Chin-chang.

With the election less than 50 days away, KMT presidential candidate Eric Chu and his DPP opponent Tsai Ing-wen intensified their campaigning. Chu campaigned on the behalf of legislator Lee Ching-hua in Xizhi district while his Tsai campaigned in Miaoli which is considered a pan-blue stronghold. The KMT’s presidential candidate Eric Chu campaigned for the party’s legislative candidate in Xizhi, Lee Ching-hua, who is running against New Power Party candidate Huang Kuo-chang. Eric ChuKMT Presidential CandidatePeople need to know they should vote for legislators not for their fame or for being eloquent. What truly matters is an ability to represent and understand their district which I believe will be reflected in the vote.Besides legislative candidates, Eric Chu also lent his support to at-large candidates as he attended an AIDS prevention event with Chen Yi-min, who ranked third on the KMT at-large legislative list.Tsai visited Miaoli today where she immediately made a pledge to local citizens.Tsai Ing-wenDPP Presidential CandidateI promise my administration will properly handle the financial situation of the Miaoli County Government.

With the presidential and legislative elections concluding in January, several DPP legislators have begun to plan their next step. Hailing from Tainan, legislators Chen Ting-fei, Huang Wei-cher, and Yeh Yi-jin are showing an interest in joining mayoral races in Tainan and Kaohsiung. However, their legislative counterparts from Kaohsiung are being more reserved about their future plans.Huang Wei-cherDPP LegislatorThose who are great mayors start out as legislators.

On the other hand, legislators from Kaohsiung City are less vocal about their ambitions.Liu Shyh-FangDPP Legislator As of now, my priority will be focusing on my performance in the Legislature. The DPP has strong support in Tainan and Kaohsiung. This means whoever wins the primary will likely win the election.

Terry Gou is just one of many critics to slam DPP Legislator Chen Ou-po's actions. A KMT legislator plans to bring disciplinary action against Chen over his funeral disturbance. After disrupting the funeral for President Ma Ying-jeou's mother, DPP Legislator Chen Ou-po returned to his Yilan home to reflect on his actions.

The opposition DPP is accusing the judiciary of having a double standard when it comes to ruling on cases involving pan green and pan blue members. It is furious that the pan blue, KMT figure Lin Yi-shih received a sentence of just seven years and four months after extorting a payment of NT$63 million from a contractor. In a similar case former DPP President Chen Shui-bian was sentenced to 18 years in prison. The severity of the accusations against former Cabinet Secretary-General Lin Yi-shih led prosecutors with the Special Investigation Division to request a life sentence. Instead the court only gave Lin seven years, four months. The cover of the Apple Daily on Wednesday revealed the joy felt by the former Ma Ying-jeou aide.

The DPP’s presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen this morning campaigned in Chiayi County, stumping for legislative candidates Chen Ming-wen and Tsai Yi-yu. Responding to criticisms from KMT presidential candidate Eric Chu that the DPP was up to dirty election tricks, Tsai said that the KMT had not reflected on itself properly. It was shifting the blame for its administration mistakes onto the DPP and its last-minute change of presidential candidate had not helped to change this. Tsai waved flags with Chiayi county magistrate Helen Chang and heads of DPP campaign support groups from towns and villages at the launch of Chen Ming-wen’s joint campaign headquarters.Shaking Chen’s hand, Tsai called on DPP candidates to win a legislative majority. When reporters asked her whether Chen was her top pick for legislative speaker, she gave the following response. Tsai Ing-wenDPP Presidential Candidate“It’s far too early to say. We must wait until the results of the election on Jan. 16 come out, before holding a further round of discussions.”In response to Chu’s claims that the DPP was up to dirty election tricks, Tsai said the KMT’s last minute switch of election candidates had not made any difference to the campaign.Tsai Ing-wenDPP Presidential candidate“Confrontations are getting stirred up everywhere. Blaming the KMT’s administration mistakes on the DPP during this presidential campaign makes me feel that the KMT’s change of presidential candidates made no difference at all.”Today is Retrocession Day, which commemorates the Japanese surrender and Taiwan’s handover to the incoming Chinese KMT forces. When asked how she felt, Tsai said she had explained her stance on national identification at National Day celebrations.

The result of Taiwan's local elections will not have a fundamental impact on the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, despite the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party's landslide defeat, analysts said Sunday.
Saturday's island-wide elections were considered a mid-term test for the KMT ahead of the region's leadership election in 2016.
Pressure has mounted on Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou to step down as chairman of the island's ruling party, after Jiang Yi-huah, Taiwan chief administrator, resigned Saturday, saying he took responsibility for the overwhelming defeat.
KMT spokesperson Chen Yi-hsin on Sunday denied speculation that Ma will resign as party chief, but stressed that Ma "will not cling to power" and will shoulder responsibility for the defeat. He added that Ma would make a "major announcement" at a meeting of the party's central standing committee on Wednesday.
In Taiwan's "nine-in-one elections," the KMT won only six out of 22 seats for city and county heads, far fewer than the 15 it won in the previous election four years ago.
It also lost control of its traditional strongholds in the major cities of Taipei and Taichung.
The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) clinched 13 seats, while the remaining three went to independent candidates.
The elections are the biggest in Taiwan's history, involving nearly 20,000 candidates running for nine levels of 11,130 local government and legislative positions to be selected by some 18.5 million registered voters. Taiwan's Central Election Commission said voter turnout was around 65-70 percent.
The positions ranged from mayoral and legislator seats in Taiwan's largest municipalities and counties to chiefs of townships and villages.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, responded late Saturday that the mainland has been watching the result of this election. He called on people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits to cherish the "hard-won fruits" in their ties, and to continue promoting peaceful development of cross-Straits relations.
Cross-Straits relations have warmed since Ma came to power in 2008, leading to a tourist boom of mainland visitors to Taiwan and expanded trade links. But the KMT's latest election defeat may bring the opposition DPP back to power and cause cross-Straits ties to regress, Hu Shiqing, a researcher at the Taiwan Studies Institute of the China Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

wn.com/Taiwan Local Selection Kmt Only Takes Six Municipal Seats 台灣縣市選舉 國民黨僅獲得6席位
The result of Taiwan's local elections will not have a fundamental impact on the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, despite the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party's landslide defeat, analysts said Sunday.
Saturday's island-wide elections were considered a mid-term test for the KMT ahead of the region's leadership election in 2016.
Pressure has mounted on Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou to step down as chairman of the island's ruling party, after Jiang Yi-huah, Taiwan chief administrator, resigned Saturday, saying he took responsibility for the overwhelming defeat.
KMT spokesperson Chen Yi-hsin on Sunday denied speculation that Ma will resign as party chief, but stressed that Ma "will not cling to power" and will shoulder responsibility for the defeat. He added that Ma would make a "major announcement" at a meeting of the party's central standing committee on Wednesday.
In Taiwan's "nine-in-one elections," the KMT won only six out of 22 seats for city and county heads, far fewer than the 15 it won in the previous election four years ago.
It also lost control of its traditional strongholds in the major cities of Taipei and Taichung.
The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) clinched 13 seats, while the remaining three went to independent candidates.
The elections are the biggest in Taiwan's history, involving nearly 20,000 candidates running for nine levels of 11,130 local government and legislative positions to be selected by some 18.5 million registered voters. Taiwan's Central Election Commission said voter turnout was around 65-70 percent.

Despite KMT presidential candidate Eric Chu’s best efforts to distance himself from the current Ma administration, he is being branded by the opposition DPP as offering voters much of the same. The issue came to the fore in the first presidential debate held yesterday with Chu criticizing his DPP opponent Tsai Ing-wen of reviving Chen Shui-bian’s administration.
